'71

When I was younger I used to be
A little less crazy and a lot more free
I guess the years are catching up to me at last
I never cared too much for money or fame
I never wondered should I change my name?
And love was just another painless game
That always came around again

None of my buddies ever did me wrong
All of my girlfriends used to like my songs
Everyone I knew felt happy and strong, and alive

I never knew it took so much to survive
I never knew I'd deal with so much jive
You know if I had had a crystal ball
I might have cashed it all in back then

Tell me, did you feel the same about '71?
Was it my imagination or did we seem to have more fun?
But those years are gone, now there's nothing to be done
With all these memories
'Cause I got twenty-five behind me and a lot more left to come

Tell me, did you feel the same about '71?
Was it my imagination or did we seem to have more fun?
But those years are gone, now there's nothing to be done
With all these memories
'Cause I got twenty-five behind me and a lot more left to come

'Cause I got twenty-five behind me and a lot more left to come

I never knew it took so much to survive
I never knew I'd deal with so much jive
You know if I had had a crystal ball
I might have cashed it all in back then

Tell me, did you feel the same about '71?
(In '71)
Was it my imagination or did we seem to have more fun?
But those years are gone, now there's nothing to be done
With all these memories
'Cause I got twenty-five behind me and a lot more left to come
'Cause I got twenty-five behind me and a lot more left
Got a lot more
I got a lot more left to come

Tell me, did you feel the same about '71?
(Oh, did you? In '71)
Was it my imagination or did we seem to have more fun?
Tell me, did you feel?
Tell me, did you feel the same about '71?
Was it my imagination or did we seem to have more fun?

Tell me, did you feel?
(Tell me, did you feel the same about '71?)
(In '71)
Was it my imagination or did we seem?
Did anyone seem to have more fun?
(Tell me, did you feel the same?)
